You can use MyBus tickets on all government and private buses in Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast, Hunter and Illawarra areas. You can purchase MyBus tickets as a single or TravelTen (10 trips). These tickets can be purchased from the Campus Hub "Spot" (in Building C10A) and local newsagents.

The Student Enquiry Service normally administers this from week 3 of each semester. Concession stickers are valid until the end of March the following year, eg the 2014 sticker will be valid until 31st March 2015.
